With the current price of 5.10/gal and the price then from 2001 @2.45/gal it will cost me $1,767.00 more per year. and from last year it is going to cost me $687 more. This really sucks and I work for a major Oil company.

[/QUOTE] Yeah,I work up & down the West Coast as a contract maintenance craftsman in various oil refineries. Do you think I get a discount for keeping them running,so they can rake in record profits? Hell no! -I have 4 major companies refineries within 50 miles,& with them being so close you would think it might b e a bit cheaper,due to less transportation costs,etc....NO!...we are consistently higher than the rest of the area,& even the US on average. Bellingham,Wa was about $3.30 yesterday,the state average "was" $3.19. I havent checked today,but we seem to be going up daily around here C3RVETTE38846.5135185185
